Vaccines. 💪🏻💪🏻

This is so spectacularly bad. Whether this was because of incompetence or willful avoidance of the approved communication methods, this is unacceptable.

Who is up for running in SC? I’d love to support some fresh perspectives and new ideas in our local and state government!

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵The iconic image known as Rosie was created by the American artist J. Howard Miller in 1942. Women played a huge role in during WWII. Many of these women were Black.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #WomansHistoryMonth thehistoryinsider.com/black-rosies/

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

ICYMI: “Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website”…in order “to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.”

I haven’t even looked at my retirement accounts in a few weeks.

Folding tables and cafeteria chairs? Yikes.

Read the thread. Learn about what is happening to Mahmoud Khalil, we can’t let this happen in the shadows.

Ever the class act, @mcbride.house.gov!! Thank you @keating.house.gov for standing up to the bully and standing for decency.

We must continue to educate our communities about the various histories that are being deleted. Keep talking. Keep sharing. Knowledge of the past is more critical than ever.

…. Where do people think the phone gets the weather data?

“There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all. This President is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders. At some point, we’re all going to have to stand up.” - Rep. @algreen.house.gov, after being removed from the House chamber, 3/4/25

We have a problem. Let’s stop testing/observing problem and it obviously goes away. 🤦‍♀️

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

No shopping tomorrow! I need to buy stuff for work but it’s going to wait until Monday!

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

One of SC's best!!! @appleseedsc.bsky.social www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2...

Yikes on bikes.

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

SC educators! This sounds like a very helpful and very timely webinar.

Does he think this is what the people of South Carolina want?

Voting is a human right. Today in Germany, every vote shapes the future. 🗳️🇩🇪 Say no to hate. No to AfD. ❌🏛️ #Germany #NoToAfD #Democracy

Droplets of kindness will result in a tidal wave of change.

Reach out to your non-political friends or family. People who don’t realize how these things will directly impact their daily lives. It may be awkward, but keeping the line of communication open is vital. Many people who never cared before are starting to care and they need help knowing what to do.

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

We need the arts more than ever. Art gives us hope, makes us think, makes us feel connected to something bigger than ourselves. Amanda Gorman is an absolute treasure and I’m so grateful to be alive with her to give us hope during this “era of just redemption”. We will prevail.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

The world is unraveling at the seams like a sweater caught on a chain link fence but I am trying to find joy where I can. I made these meringue pop “bouquets” for friends at work. I love how baking gets me into a meditative state of focus and I can create something to share. I should do it more.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

I’m sorry WHAT

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

Humans ARE amazing! We have capacity for radical kindness, a deeply connected community, and a sense of awe and thirst for learning. We just keep getting in our own way and too many people are fueled by fear and hate. We must change the path.

Wow. I was really hoping they wouldn’t go through with it. Delete Google Maps.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

If only we knew what affected these negative outcomes and cared enough to do something to help. /s
